Release Notes
EK 6042 Firmware version 1.3.1
What‘s new?
This firmware update will provide EK users with a „Party Dial“ mode.
This mode will allow users to quickly jump between pre-programmed frequencies with just one
press of a button. Ideal for use cases where it is necessary to quickly change between frequencies.
Preparation:
The „Party Dial“ uses frequencies from the „License List“.
If there are no frequencies placed in the “Licence list”, you will need to program a minimum of two
frequencies into the “Licence list” which fit to the selected transmitter profile.
To carry out this step, please use the EK6042 pre-configuration web interface.
Frequencies that are outside the range of the transmitter profile used will be ignored in party dial
and can therefore not be selected.
